IB showcase highlights PBMS students’ community service projects
As an International Baccalaureate school, Pacific Beach Middle requires students to complete community service hours each year.
Sixth-grade students document 10 hours, seventh-grade grade will need 15 hours, and eighth-grade students are required to complete a minimum of 20 hours that become their community service project. Eighth-grade students can complete an individual project or work in groups of two or three to meet their community service project requirements.
“The community service project kicks off for eighth-grade students in September. I encourage students to select a project or topic that they are passionate about or one that matches their hobbies or interests,” said Ashley Hensen, IB coordinator at PBMS. “The final project format is digital and highlights the four phases of the project: research, planning, action, and reflection.
